Washington posted 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Cavaliers.
Washington was cleared to play Sunday after sitting out of Friday's game against Cleveland due to an ankle injury. He was one of three Mavericks players to score at least 20 points, and he also contributed defensively with five swipes, tying a season high he set against the Rockets on Dec. 6. Washington has logged double-doubles in back-to-back games and three times since the All-Star break. Dallas wraps up its road trip Monday against New Orleans, so the veteran forward may be sidelined for injury management as he was Friday.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Trending toward playing Sunday
Rotowire
Washington (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Washington initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to left ankle soreness, an injury that prevented him from playing Friday.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Not playing Friday
Rotowire
Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports reports.
Washington's absence comes as no surprise, given that he drew the doubtful tag for Friday's game after playing in the front end of the Mavericks' back-to-back set against the Grizzlies on Thursday, when he logged 12 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes in a 120-112 win. Khris Middleton figures to be the top candidate to enter the Mavericks' starting lineup in Washington's absence. Washington's next chance to play is in Sunday's rematch against the Cavaliers.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Washington put up a solid 12-point, 10-rebound double-double in 28 minutes during Thursday's win over Memphis, but the Mavericks are leaning toward caution on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Since returning from a three-game absence for the same injury earlier this month, Washington has struggled to find his offensive rhythm. Over his last six outings, he is averaging just 10.7 points and 5.8 rebounds on 36.2 percent shooting from the floor. With Klay Thompson (rest) expected back for this contest, the Mavericks have enough wing depth to give Washington a night off.

Washington secured his first double-double since February 20 on Thursday, helping Dallas snap an eight-game losing streak. While the rebounding was a welcome sight, his shooting struggles remained a factor as he went 0-for-3 from deep and hit just 41.7 percent of his field-goal attempts. Since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, Washington has struggled to find his rhythm. Over his last six outings, he is averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting a lackluster 36.2 percent from the field.

For those in the fantasy playoffs, it's time to make some tough decisions, one of which might be to part ways with Washington.

However, the 27-year-old forward struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end and didn't offer much in terms of peripheral numbers. The seventh-year player has appeared in four outings since the All-Star break, averaging 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 44 percent from the field in 32.8 minutes per contest during that period.
